[Verse 1]
Down on the Delta, that's where there's shelter
No helter skelter, no blues around
I'm tired of roaming, that's why I'm homing
I'm Delta bound
When night is falling, my levee's calling
And keeps a-calling, I'm going down
I'm in a hurry, my heart's a flurry
I'm Delta bound

[Bridge]
Every time I close my eyes, I seem to see Louisiana
I can hear those jockeys zing in that free and easy manner

[Verse 2]
I've been a rover, now that's over
Knee deep in clover I'll soon be found
I'm on my way now, most any day now
I'm Delta bound

[Instrumental]
